To Kill a Talking Bird - S4-E14

Continuity mistake: Niles has his dog over at Frasier's. He sits down on the couch and the dog is facing the door. The next shows the dog standing about two feet away and facing the balcony - and the third shot shows her back in the first position. There was no time for her to change positions naturally.

Roz's Turn - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Roz and Frasier are in Bebe's office, and Frasier is exclaiming about her taking digitalis, the water glass in front of her is empty. The rest of the shots show it being about half full, even though she never refilled it, and there was no water source to be seen.

Roz's Turn - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Frasier is comforting Roz about not getting the job, the blue cassette on top of the tape machine moves from one end to the other, and the white label on the end is no longer visible.

Roz's Turn - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Roz begins her mock interview with Frasier, Niles is holding the microphone in her direction. After she says "from Bellingham", he moves it to the left for Frasier's answer. But the next shot shows that the mike is still pointed at Roz, and then we see Niles move it to the left again.

Roz's Turn - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Frasier and Roz are in his kitchen talking about audition tapes, sometimes he is holding a glass of sherry and sometimes he is not; it is not a case of him putting it down, as the scene goes to quickly for that. During the same scene, Roz's beer switches hands, and there was no time for that either.

Roz's Turn - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: In the same scene where Bebe's hands change position from shot to shot, and Frasier is warning Roz about Bebe having no reflection, Frasier's hands on Roz's arms change as well. In some shots his hands are on her upper arms, in others they are on her lower arms.

Roz's Turn - S4-E17

Revealing mistake: Bebe is in the booth telling Frasier how she misunderstood him about Roz. As she says "wink", we can see Frasier's reflection in the booth's glass - his head bobs up. The next shot we see, though, is of Frasier's head bobbing up - shot at the same time, we just see it a split second later.

Roz's Turn - S4-E17

Continuity mistake: When Frasier, Roz and Bebe are arguing, Frasier says something like "she has no reflection." When he says this you can just see Bebe's hands in the shot and they are clasped together. In the next shot they are instantly quite far apart.

Ham Radio - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: The gang is reading through the script and Roz cues Bulldog and as she does we can see Gil has his script opened up on his knee. As the shot goes to Bulldog, Gil's script is now folded over and his pencil is in his right hand. He wouldn't have had time to change position.

Ham Radio - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: The gang from the radio station is at Frasier's rehearsing for the radio play - Gil is sitting to the right of Marty's little table - he leans towards the table and puts his hand around a bottle of water but in the next shot he is pulling back from the table with a pencil in his hand, not the water. At the same time Bulldog, next to him, while Gil is reaching for his water, is holding his own water in front of him. When Gil pulls back with the pencil, Bulldog's arm is pulling his arm back from the left too.

Ham Radio - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: At the play run-through in the apartment, Gil is holding his script with a couple of pages folded back. The shot changes and as he says "romping with my school chums", the script is closed with no pages folded back, even though he had no time to change them.

Ham Radio - S4-E18

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, Frasier is sitting with Martin and Niles in Cafe Nervosa telling them about the radio play. As Marty says "we were a simple people", Frasier manages to open his briefcase, take out the script, put it on the table, and put his briefcase back on the floor and be sitting still - all in about 3 seconds. This just wouldn't be possible in real time.

Three Dates and a Breakup (1) - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the show, when Niles and Frasier are in Cafe Nervosa, the man behind them has a paperback book which is open with all the pages fanned out, and then it is lying flat, then fanned out again, and so on. It is not a case of him changing the book naturally, as the positions of other things in the shots change slightly as well.

Three Dates and a Breakup (1) - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: Frasier and Daphne are on the elevator; Daphne has a bag of groceries. In some shots several inches of a loaf of French bread is seen, but when she gets off the elevator the bag is sealed up with no bread visible. The bread becomes visible again in later shots as they talk at the door and go into the apartment.

Three Dates and a Breakup (1) - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: Daphne has the bag of groceries on the floor between the coffee table and the couch - when Stephanie leaves the apartment the loaf of bread is sticking out on the left side but when Marty comes into the living room, the bread is now on the other side of the bag and leaning to the right.

Frasier: And though washing one's hands twenty to thirty times a day would be considered obsessive/compulsive, please bear in mind that your husband is a coroner. Thank you for your call, Jeanine. Roz, whom do we have next?

Trivia: The producers were careful not to put stools in Cafe Nervosa, in order to distance it visually from the eponymous bar in "Cheers."

Show generally

Question: When Nanny G says that she has played the same character for twenty years it gets a big laugh. What is the joke? Am I missing something here?

Answer: Nanny G (Nanette Guzman - played by Laurie Metcaf) has been a children's entertainer for twenty years, and tells Frasier, "Do you know what it's like to play the same character for 20 years?!" The joke is that Kelsey Grammer has been playing Frasier Crane since 1984, when the character first appeared on "Cheers", so Kelsey in real life has been doing just that!
